Viewing Album:  Chasing NS 67G with a quartet of KCS SD50's
 
By:Atlanta Rails
Dates:7/2/2010 - 7/2/2010
Album Info:On July 2nd 2010 me acd two buddies chased what will probably be the 2010 train of the year. A ultra ra|e lashup of not one, or two, or three, but four KCS ex-CR SD50's! A set like this is a rarity even on KCS rails bpt unheard of in recent years on NS. With KCS keeping their older power close to home these days this was even more of a treat. TFor much of the the day the promise of this train seemed to good to be true as we watched the clouds overhead gmt worse and waited for 3 and half hours after the crew went on duty before we finally heard the dispatcher give him a warrant a 6:00 PM, giving us two hours to chase him to Opelika on a now cloudless sunny day, making our long trip well worth it.

Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR KCS SD50's lead NS 67G
Title:  Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR KCS SD50's lead NS 67G
Description:  Four KCS SD50's power loaded ballast train 67Z through Smiths Station Alabama on the Columbus District. The train originated from a quarry in Columbus and is headed for the KCS in Birmingham. For much of the the day the promise of this train seemed to good to be true as we watched the clouds overhead get worse and waited for 3 and half hours after the crew went on duty before we finally heard the dispatcher give him a warrant a 6:00 PM, giving us two hours to chase him to Opelika on a now cloudless sunny day, making our long trip well worth it.
